airfoilmod - RTO at 105 kts isn't anywhere near the loads experienced at max weight at much higher speeds.

Have to be an engineer to figure the difference between the loads they experienced and what a max gross weight RTO from 140+ kts would be.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the loads that the accident aircraft experienced were less than 50% of the max capability of the brakes.
